Jaisalmer Fort
The 'Golden City' is often visible as a tiny sandstone jewel in the midst of the desert.
Makran Coastal Range
Stunning mud volcanoes and jagged rock formations along the southern coast of Pakistan.
Strait of Hormuz
One of the world's most important shipping lanes, visible as a busy corridor of cargo ships.
Qeshm Island
The largest island in the Persian Gulf, featuring unique geological erosion patterns.
Zagros Mountains
Distant, snow-capped peaks of the Iranian plateau visible on clear winter days across the water.
The Makran coastline is the star of this route; a morning flight ensures the sun illuminates these cliffs from the east. Keep your camera ready about 60-90 minutes after takeoff from Delhi. This side is also less affected by glare during westbound afternoon flights.
